A better way to set up your new home
A housewarming registry takes the guesswork out of gift giving. Instead of guests wandering the home goods aisle hoping to pick something useful, they can browse your list and choose something you actually want. With BennyList, you can add items from any retailer — Amazon, Target, IKEA, Home Depot, Etsy, or anywhere else — so your registry reflects your taste and your home's real needs.

How it works
Housewarming registry FAQs
What should you put on a housewarming registry?
A housewarming registry works best when it covers things you genuinely need for your new home. Focus on kitchen essentials, bedding and bath upgrades, home décor, cleaning supplies, and tools. If you're buying your first home, include bigger-ticket items like a vacuum, air purifier, or patio furniture. A home fund for future projects — painting, landscaping, or renovations — is also a popular and practical addition. For more ideas, browse our housewarming gift ideas guide.
Is it okay to have a housewarming registry?
Yes. A housewarming registry is completely acceptable and actually helps guests. Instead of guessing what you need, they can pick something useful from your list. Most people prefer giving a gift that lands well over guessing in a home goods store. Share it with close friends and family who ask — you don't need to announce it broadly.
Can I add items from any store to a housewarming registry?
Yes. BennyList lets you add housewarming registry items from any store — Amazon, Target, IKEA, Home Depot, Etsy, or any online retailer. There's no retailer lock-in, so you can build your registry around the products that actually fit your home, not just what one store carries.
How many items should be on a housewarming registry?
A housewarming registry with 30 to 60 items gives guests a comfortable range to choose from. Include a mix of price points — items under $30 for casual friends, mid-range picks in the $30–$100 range, and a few larger items or funds for closer family. More items at lower price points means more guests can find something within their budget.
What's the difference between a housewarming registry and a wedding registry?
A housewarming registry celebrates moving into a new home rather than getting married, so it tends to be more casual and optional for guests. The items skew more toward practical home needs — tools, cleaning supplies, décor, and furniture — rather than fine china or silver. There's also no formal event obligation to buy gifts, so keep your list accessible with plenty of affordable options.
Can I include a cash fund on my housewarming registry?
Yes. A home improvement fund, landscaping fund, or general 'new home' fund is one of the most popular items on housewarming registries. Guests who want to give something meaningful but don't know your style can contribute to a fund instead, and you can use it toward whatever the home needs most.
